PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:
England won the rain-marred test series against Pakistan with a score of 1-0. They ‘re going to try to continue the winning momentum against the Green Men in the T20Is. Their recent record in Manchester, however, is not something that would give Eoin Morgan a tension-free night before the match.
WEATHER REPORT:
In the evening, there is a small chance of rain. The match will not be lost, however, as the sky would remain dark at night. The temperature will remain below 20 degrees Celsius.
PITCH REPORT:
The pitch was beneficial to the batsmen and the fast bowlers. The large strokes are quick to play, but England has failed to do well in Manchester. KL Rahul scored a hundred in 2018 at this very venue, while Wahab Riaz scored three wins against England in 2016.
